Chapter 1521: The Overlord’s Eyes and Ears
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“No! No! No! Noooooo!” Lu Gang let out a shrill scream, but the Beast Kings were only obedient to Chen Xiaobei and they had no sympathy whatsoever for him.
Ziiing!
The Tyrant Dragon King swung an arm, having fingers like sharp steel shards stabbing into Lu Gang’s chest. They started piercing flesh and blood, deep into his breastbone, and not leaving Lu Gang any chance to escape.
Crack! Crack!
At the same, the Python King and Ape King both swung their claws from each side, sinking their fingers into Lu Gang’s left and right arm.
Blood was splattered everywhere. Lu Gang’s face however, was drained of it, and he was shaking like a limp leaf. “Have mercy! Have mercy!”
Rrrrriiiiip!
The Beast Kings wore faces of stone, ignoring Lu Gang’s desperate pleas, and together, tore into his whimpering body with all their might.
“AHHHHHHH!”
With a final blood-curdling scream, Lu Gang’s body was ripped apart into three. Ripped flesh, snapped bones, and torn ligaments hung in strands from the beasts claws. His insides poured out in large blobs and painted the ground a dark red as they made contact with an unsavory plop.
“My G.o.d!”
The middle-aged man who was carrying Lan Mengcheng fell to ground gagging, shaking uncontrollably, and sweating profusely.
When they first came, the South Town’s Star Temple group had thought that Chen Xiaobei would be an easy kill.
But it had only been a few minutes, and out of all of them, eight of the South Town Star Temple people were all dead, leaving only the weakest one alive.
“Master, shall we kill this piece of trash?” The Tyrant Dragon King looked at him in contempt. This remaining human was less than a lowly insect to them. Chen Xiaobei only had to give his hounds the signal and this apparent weakling would be dead in a matter of seconds.
The person drew in a deep breath when he heard this and pleaded profusely, “Don’t… Don’t kill me… I… I am the eyes and ears that the Overlord has planted in South Town Star Temple! We’re on the same team! We’re on the same team!”
Chen Xiaobei was intrigued. “Oh? What is your name?”
“M… My name is Wu Guangwen!” The person replied.
“Are you really the Overlord’s informer?” Chen Xiaobei studied the man carefully from head to toe. “You say that we’re on the same team but why didn’t you offer me any help before this?”
“I…” Wu Guangwen could not answer him.
A nicer way to put it would be that he was incapable of offering Chen Xiaobei any help at all. In a less pleasant way to put it, there was a possibility that he too had hoped Chen Xiaobei would die.
“If you don’t say anything, then I’ll just take it that you’re lying to me!” Chen Xiaobei said.
The Tyrant Dragon King immediately made a move towards Wu Guangwen.
Wu Guangwen inhaled sharply, and breathed rapidly, “I’ll tell you! I’ll tell you! I only watched from the side and didn’t get involved because that was the Overlord’s orders!”
Chen Xiaobei stared at the man. “What are you trying to do? If you want to use the Overlord to pressure me, at last give me a more reasonable excuse!”
“The Overlord wants to force you into a corner so that he could find out everything about you! He wants to see if you could handle managing South Town’s Star Temple, and he also wants to know if he can have full control you!”
“I’ve already been cursed. Why is the Overlord still worried?” Chen Xiaobei asked.
“It’s not you he’s worried about. It’s your ‘friends’ that worries the Overlord!” Wu Guangwen explained. “He’s worried about the woman who destroyed Atlantis last time, and these three masters who are present today. They are all very unusually powerful! Unless the Overlord can figure these uncertainties out, he would not dare make use of you that easily.”
“After this battle, do you think that the Overlord had figured out whatever it is he wanted to figure out?”
“I wouldn’t dare hazard a guess of the Overlord’s judgements.” Wu Guangwen swallowed. “But I will report everything that has happened today as it is to him. No matter what I say, Mr. Chen has already finished the second task. If you could just explain the origin of these three masters, the Overlord would naturally have nothing to worry about!”
“Explain their origin?” Chen Xiaobei frowned as he shot a glance at the three Demonic Beast Kings.
“Why? Is there a problem, Mr. Chen?” Wu Guangwen asked.
Chen Xiaobei shrugged. “No, I’ve actually told the Overlord about where they came from. They are all from a high-ranking starfield, and they are my friends!”
“As long as Mr. Chen can explain it clearly to him!” Wu Guangwen nodded, as he reached into his pocket for an interstellar cell phone.
“What are you doing?” Chen Xiaobei asked.
“I’m have to report everything that has happened today! I’ve already told the Overlord about Lu Gang’s operation today! Since the battle results are out, I have to report immediately or the Overlord might find me guilty. I cannot afford that!”
“Oh, if that’s the case.” Chen Xiaobei raised an eyebrow. “Stop him.”
“Stop who?” Wu Guangwen looked puzzled. The reply he got was him feeling the Python King and the Ape Kings twisting his arms behind his back.
Both Demonic Beast Kings exerted their force on him, and pushed him to his knees.
“M… Mr Chen! What are you doing?!” Wu Guangwen began to panic.
Chen Xiaobei retrieved a Heavenly Dog Biscuit from his Infinite s.p.a.ce Ring. “Don’t worry. I won’t harm you. I just want to give you something delicious to eat!”
Clearly, Wu Guangwen had a very special role in this.
If Wu Guangwen is not killed, Chen Xiaobei would, forever, have a pair of eyes watching him.
If he killed him however, the Overlord would become suspicious and even if Chen Xiaobei managed to sweep it under the rug, the Overlord could always send a second spy. Men like Wu Guangwen were expandable cannon fodder.
That was why Chen Xiaobei had to give Wu Guangwen the biscuit in order to gain complete control of him.
“Don’t come any closer! I will not eat that! I will never eat that thing!” Wu Guangwen protested.
“Don’t worry. This thing tastes really good. If you don’t believe me, you can ask the three of them!” Chen Xiaobei pointed his chin at the Beast Kings,
The Demonic Beast Kings nodded and smirked. If one were to forget the Heavenly Dog’s Biscuit’s Special Ability, it really did taste quite good.
“I won’t eat it! I will not eat that!” Wu Guangwen struggled, and screamed. “Hey Chen! You better think about what you’re doing! I am the Overlord’s most trusted interstellar spy! If you kill me, the Overlord will pursue this matter to the end!”
“What? This is not to kill.. don’t you worry. I don’t plan to kill you! On top of that, the Overlord trusts you so much that it would be a waste to simply kill you!” Chen Xiaobei shrugged while tossing the biscuit to the Tyrant Dragon King.
The Tyrant Dragon King pried opened Wu Guangwen’s mouth and shoved the biscuit into his throat, so that he could not spit it out!
The biscuit took effect very quickly. Wu Guangwen acknowledged his master and became another addition to Chen Xiaobei’s loyal hound collection which was growing by the day.
“Now you can report to the Northern Wilderness Overlord!” Chen Xiaobei grinned. “Oh, by the way, find out what his final task for me is.”
